South side rules

•5 sober up

We reach our street and he puts me down. I didn't have complete control of my balance causing me to fall backwards. Debby laughed at me so hard that she ended up falling too. "I'm sorry Carl I know you wanted to have fun and I promised you I wasn't going to get totally wasted I guess I'm a light weight and finishing a whole bottle did not make the situation any better" I began to cry because all my emotions were heightened at the moment. I was no where near sobriety. "It's ok lil ma, I'll take you home and you will feel much better, and Debs I'll call Ian to come and get you too."
"Nooo I can't go home, my mom is there right now and I can't let her see me like this"
"Fine you'll stay at are place, but I still need Ian to come and help me." Just as he finished saying that, he takes out his phone and calls Ian. "You home?"
"Yeah Mickey and I were just sleeping"
"Oh I'm sorry to wake you guys up but can you come outside i need help"
"Let me guess you and debs went to a party"
"yeah that's kinda why i need help"
"Just bring her here like you usually do"
"I have some else here too, just come and help me please, we are in the corner all the way to the end of the street, hurry up, bye"
When he hung up, we heard him walk out of the house, he spotted us and put Debby over his shoulders.
"Ok it's your turn Mel come" I take out my hand as he lifts me up again and takes me into their house and up his room.
"You want one of my shirts to sleep in?"
"Yeahhhh but don't look at me amma change realllll quick"
Ian was in the room and began to laugh.
"Mel you could barley lift up your hand let me do it, trust me ok?"
"Ohtay! But don't look!"
Ian begins to laugh harder and this time Mickey joins him.
"Ughh, Mel I have to look at you in order to change you"
"Fineeee" I began to pout again as he took out one of his shirts, Ian and Mickey left to room to go help Debby get to bed and make sure she doesn't throw up. Then Carl closed the door and began to take me dress of and quickly put his shirt on me. I didn't have shorts so I stayed in underwear but he didn't care as long as I was comfortable.
"Carllllll, where do I sleep, ouuu actually I'll sleep in Debby's roommmmm"
"No she always tends to throw up in the floor and the bed, just sleep with me tonight"
"Ohtayyyy"
"Come over here then" he was already laying down but I was just sitting on the bed, I took off my bra since I usually don't sleep with it on and laid next to him.
"This isn't weird for you right? Because I don't want this to be weird I see you as a really close friend Gallagher" i begin to rant as I'm looking up at him while laying next to him in his bed.
"No Mel calm down and sleep it off you will be fine. You're my new best friend."
"Good.." i whispered while beginning to doze off into his arms. Its was 4 of the morning and we had just began to sleep.
I woke up to the smell of food which cause me to run to the bathroom and immediately began to throw up. I had the worst hangover. I washed my face and rinsed my mouth. There was a note on the mirror too.
"Hey Mel so I heard you slept over so there is a new extra toothbrush for you, it's the dark purple one. You're welcome.!"
I smiled and brushed my teeth. I walked back to the room and noticed Carl was still sleeping. I got back to bed and hugged him.
"Wake up sleepy head we have a long day ahead of us" and in response I just got mumbles.
"Wake up moronnnn"... still mumbles. I got on top of him and licked my finger and gave him a wet willy, and ran downstairs.
"SELENA YOU'RE DEAD!"
"AHHHH CATCH ME FIRST!" I ran up and down the stairs until Fiona stopped me and i hid behind her. "Aye no running around the house before you eat breakfast" Stopping to catch my breath made me dizzy, moving around usually helps me feel as if I have balance but sitting down and eating did not so I almost fell of my seat.
"Wow there Mel watch out, what happened to you?" Fiona asked me with a concern look but I couldn't tell her or we would get in trouble.
"I uh have a bad headache from all the moving and unpacking I guess I was under a lot of stress"
"Let me just call V over and check what she can do for you"
"No no! It's fine, I'm fineee I'll just sleep it off trust me" I look over at Carl who was listening to our conversation on his way out of the bathroom trying not to look suspicious as to what happened last night, I'd like to say I remember it but I don't remember right after seeing the stars on top of the house.
"Hey, where is Debs?"
"She said she was going out really quick, she looked like she just woke up. She had sunglasses on and a hoodie with sweats and a messy bun, I don't know where she would go looking like that."
I looked at Carl with a worried look and tried to leave the table, "I think I should be headed home now, but thank you Fi for the breakfast and for letting me stay over. Uhh Carl would you come with me and help me fix the ummm.. room?"
"What room?" Carl couldn't sound any more stupid, I gave him the look that said 'I'm trying to get out of here and I need you to come with me to look for debs' if that's even a look.
"OHHH THAT ROOM! Uhhh yeah let me just get ready"
"Nah don't worry my mom is always leaving early for work" I said as I grabbed his arm and headed up stairs. I grabbed my things and took him back down stairs, out the door. I immediately called Debs
"Where the hell did you go???"
"Uhh I don't knowwww, I'm at some ones house I think is the guy from the party, I woke up on the couch."
"Debs make your way out of the house I'll come pick you up."
"Ok but hurry I think his parents are on their way back home" I hung up the phone and ran to where the party was and see her outside sitting in the side walk playing with her hands.
"Debs!" I called out to her so she can come towards me and Carl. "Hey guysssss" she answered so calmly. "Why the hell did you come back here?" Carl seemed mad and annoyed with her at the moment. "I forgot something here on the couch, and your friend said to sleep it off for a while until he finished cleaning up. So when you called me he had just given me some tea." Carl still seemed mad so I grabbed his hand and squeezed it, my mom would do that three times as in 'I love you' and one squeeze as in 'calm' because would usually always get pissed. So I i gave him one squeeze and looked up at him and smiled. He just sigh and said "as long as you were safe Debs, just don't ever leave when you still haven't fully sobered up. What did you leave that was so important anyways?"
"Well I don't know if you guys remembered but you both were dancing and they have Polaroid Cameras so I took two pictures of you guys and a picture of me, and I thought you'd both would want one each so I came back to look for it" He hands us both a picture and we just smiled. We grabbed her hand to lift her up and we all walked to my place instead.
